Trend Pocket Hole Jig & Screws Kit, PH/JIG/AK

I just made a torsion box mft table using this to do the joins I used 18mm plywood. I had some long lengths, and the jigs removable side supports were a god send, with the built in clamp, I was able to smash out pocket hole after hole in many bits of wood. The dust extraction port was really handy, but it has an odd whistle as the air gets sucked through the drill holes. I can easily change the depth of the holes, the kit is well made. When screwing in pocket holes, the wood moves a touch. I clamped mine really well, but it still drifted slightly. Grrrr! Always clamp your joints! (I used my mft top with dogs and clamps, 2 90 degree brackets clamped to the work peices and also quick clamps and the cutouts to hold it all in place -> result, the wood shifted very slightly -> may chuck in a dowel next time. The movement was far less than 1 mm, and I am being really picky) When I first used the jig, I got some metal shavings as the drill removed some of the black surface finish around where the drill leaves the jib and enters the wood. Surface finish -> gone, but the metal shavings stopped as I used the jig more and more. I'd buy this again -> its well made, the extra gubbings made it really easy to use, hardly any time spent faffing around lining things up and clamp them. Its a case of mark up where you want the holes to go, plonk it in the jig, roughly place the side supports, clamp, drill, unclamp, shift the wood to a mark, clamp... The top of the jig has marks to show the center of the hole against the wood. Really easy to line up and adjust. I looked at cheap chinese ones, cheaper trand ones, Kreg and I am glad I got this one.

Great product for diy used it several times Easy to use great hold make sure you use correct screws for hard and soft woods

Well made and solid As accurate as any pocket jig I have ever used

The quality of the jig itself is very good. I have done around 400 holes into softwood. All holes are accurate and the jig has little to no signs of wear. It’s fairly small and very easy to set up and adjust. I’ve not used the clamp very much therefore cannot comment on that but it seems good enough although not that ‘heavy duty’. The square drill bits for the pocket screws are the part that lets this kit down. While being an ideal length to drive in screws without the driver getting in the way, they rounded far too quickly which I am very disappointed at. Unfortunately, the return window has closed and I cannot contact the seller but I will buy another brands bits and continue to use the jig. Aside from the poor quality drill bits, I’d say overall it’s an effective tool that is value for money - if you get it on offer.

A great sale came promptly a brilliant piece of kit. Makes the job easier.

Very good does what it says on the box

Fantastic bit of kit. Payed for itself on the first job. Had to build four large slatted doors and this tool was invaluable. 5 Star tool. Recommended 👍

I brought this to help make a computer table. I saw it demonstrated at Screwfix live, so knew what it could do already. It is very easy to use, and boy, does it make basic woodwork construction easy! We made the table frame in minutes! Build quality is very good too, all metal construction. I looked at other (cheaper) products out there, and opted to pay the extra for this. The built in clamp is worth it alone, as this is quite possibly what makes it such a quick item to use. We used loose on the work bench, but it does have screw holes to fix it down. I guess if you were using it for light manufacturing (ie. the same action time and time again) then this would be of great use too. Once you have set the clamp for the depth of wood you are using (I was using 19mm spruce and 18mm MDF) it takes seconds to clamp the wood in place then drill the holes. If you use two drills (one with the drill bit and one with the special driver) then the process takes less than a minute. The screws for it are expensive, but they work perfectly. As I use it more, I will experiment with standard bulk buy wood screw. The 'blurb' says it is for using to clamp joints whilst wood glue sets. All the joints I made I glued as well, then used the included screws to hold in place. You could use it with out the glue (which they were doing at the live show), but overall may not be as strong. Other all, absolutely love this product and wish I had brought one years ago!

Wasn’t user friendly. I was able to do what I needed done much faster and less stress. Not worth the money fir me at this time. I only work on small projects

Dopo aver visto decine di prove a confronto su youtube, l'ho acquistato approfittando anche di uno sconto. Fatto BENISSIMO, lo ricomprerei ad occhi chiusi

Muy bueno, de calidad. El ángulo que da es perfecto.

Habe mich sehr über die Trend Pocket Hole Jig gefreut. Das Werkzeug ist sehr gut und wertig Verarbeitet – Wie nicht anders von Trend zu erwarten. Ich habe mich u.a. für die Bohrvorrichtung von Trend entschieden, da diese komplett aus Metall ist. Der Marktführer „K***“ verwendet hier einen hochwertigen Kunststoff. Wichtig zu wissen: Mit dieser Trend Bohrvorrichtung lassen sich zwar Verbindungen von Brettstärken zwischen 16 mm und 38 mm herstellen, aber optimal ist die Vorrichtung für die Verwendung von 19 mm Brettern (+/-) geeignet – nur dann befindet sich der Auslass der Bohrung in der Brettmitte. Hier gibt es ein anderes Model von Trend (Trend PH AK Pocket Hole Jig) – Hier kann u.a. die Brettstärke (wie auch bei dem Model von K***) individuell voreingestellt werden. Somit ist der Auslass der Bohrung immer mittig im Brett – Das ist nicht ohne Sinn. Da ich nur selten Brettstärken jenseits von 20 mm verwende, spielt diese Funktion für mich jedoch keine Rolle und hätte den Aufpreis zum erweiterten Model nicht gerechtfertigt. Bislang habe ich meine selbstgebauten Möbelstücke (Regale, kleine Tische und einfache kleine Schränke) mit Hilfe einer Flachdübelfräse hergestellt und fest verleimt. Das hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass ich die Möbelstücke nur „montiert“ transportiert werden können bzw. eine Demontage nicht mehr möglich ist. Meine Idee war, Möbelstücke so zu konstruieren, dass ich die einzelnen Bretter weiterhin mit Flachdübel zusammenfüge aber diese nicht mehr verleime sondern mit Pocket Holes verschraube. Die ganze Sache hat bei einem ersten Projekt sehr gut funktioniert. Durch die zusätzliche Verwendung der Flachdübel ist auch sichergestellt, dass sich die Bauteile beim verschrauben nicht verschieben und somit eine einwandfreie saubere und bündige Verbindung entsteht. Fazit: Top Produkt, einfache Handhabung und klare Kaufempfehlung

No vale para todos los grosores
